Takesha and her daughter Lauryn

We’d love to introduce you to Takesha and her daughter Lauryn!

Takesha applied to our program for Lauryn in 2015. They were living in Making Miracles Group Home after relocating from Panama City. Takesha was unemployed and starting over in Tallahassee with the help of Debra Harris, who runs a faith-based center for young women. After Lauryn enrolled at Brandon’s Place in the summer of 2016, Takesha moved into an apartment and continued to build stability with assistance from our program’s focus on education, health, and family services.
